Our School Partners
Our fishweir building partners
at the afterschool program at the Neighborhood House Charter
School in Dorchester, MA, and the Friends of the Public Garden. On fishweir
building day, NHCS students Elizabeth Murray, Aryana Blake, Jazzy
Grissettt and Clevis Murray greeted the public
and explained the fishweir and its role in the history of this place we
now call Boston.

The Ancient Fishweir Project is an annual ritual involving new groups of Boston Public School children each year. A related curriculum has been developed and will be expanded upon each year, with teachers working with our team of advisors.
